Lob Instagon is the driving force behind Instagon, a long-running noise/jam/improvisational project born in 1993. Based in the Sacramento/Miami AZ scene, Lob's neo‑psychedelic collective consistently performs with new musicians, yielding wildly unpredictable, ritualistic performances united under a "servitor" concept rooted in chaos magic. 

An organizer of NorCal Noisefest, distributor, bassist, poet, and visual artist, Lob is deeply embedded in experimental communities-often working under his art name "LOB." His performances blur disciplined funk, rock, and improvisation, yet maintain a core electric intensity.
